Museum’s CollectionWithin STEM education, a movement called STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art,and Mathematics) is gathering momentum. Yet, while articles abound with ideas forincorporating STEAM concepts into K-12 classrooms, the literature on STEAM education at theuniversity level is scant. Complicating matters is the fact that the “A” in STEAM does notalways stand for “Art”; for example, in one recent ASEE paper that contains the words “STEAMcurricula” in its title, the “A” stands for “Agriculture” [1].However, reflections on STEAM at the university level can be found in a few papers presented atthe 2013 ASEE convention. One, “Faculty reflections on a STEAM-inspired interdisciplinarystudio course,” offers insights on the opportunities
conceptualizations, the importance of, and methods to teach empathy to engineering students.

topics in science and engineering encourages students to engage moreconfidently in an unfamiliar discipline.Several different courses, focusing on different intersections, now exist. “Representing Scienceon Stage” focuses on the intersections between science and theatre, framed by an attempt todefine “science/scientist” and “performance/performer,” and to pull apart stereotypical binarypairs--rational vs. imaginative, objective vs. subjective, intellectual vs. emotional--using playswith science as its subject matter. Another course, “Representing Science and Technology in thePopular Media” teaches literary and critical analysis through close examination of popularscience texts, particularly science journalism.

These topics and skills are ofparticular importance to engineering students as they learn to create our technological future, butthey are equally important to students in other disciplines as they solve the most pressingproblems in their respective domains. The integration of engineering and non-engineeringexpertise may, in fact, lie at the heart of solving some of our greatest challenges today.In the following sections, we describe the essence of our MOOC and explore several keyquestions related to our
